Podi Gedara is a beautiful, tropical, unique place. It is perfect for singles or couples. It consists of a luxurious one bedroom apartment located directly adjacent the sea with its own natural, safe swimming pool directly in front of it

Snorkeling, beach fishing and surfing can also enjoyed directly in front of the apartment.
There are no residences on either side of the terrace and only one apartment above so it is completely private and undeveloped yet only a short distance to some of the best cafes and restaurants in the south. Two of these cafes and restaurants are within walking distance of Podi Gedara.

Podi Gedara is a fantastic spot right on the beach with stunning views and a natural swimming pool perfect for taking a dip. The apartment had everything we would need, and Andree was the perfect host. From helping us arrange transport from the airport, greeting us upon our arrival, to recommending great places to eat and things to do, she made sure our stay was relaxing and enjoyable. We were so sad to leave!

We stayed recently for almost three weeks and couldn't fault it. I have written a review for Eka Beach, where we also stayed, which also includes the Podi Gedara review - so if you want to see a more detailed review, have a look at Eka Beach!

Annabel2015-02-24T00:00:00Z

Podi Gedera was even more perfect than it looked. Andree was a fantastic host helping out with everything from grocery shopping, special restaurant recommendations to local yoga classes. We stayed 6 days and it made our trip- we wish we could have stayed longer!

Jack2016-01-06T00:00:00Z

Andree treated us with warmth and kindness during the time we were at her wonderful home, Podi Gedara, in Talpe. The house itself is beautifully located, as close to the beach as you could wish for, with it's own veranda which looks directly upon the ocean. After we had settled in, Andree asked for our itinerary and helped us organise our time in Sri Lanka. She went beyond being the ordinary host by organising many of our days and activities for us. We also visited her bed and breakfast, just a five minute TukTuk drive away, EKA for breakfast a couple of times. This is highly recommended as this breakfast was a feast not to be missed. We were treated to a huge fruit platter and delicious pancakes, whilst able to look out to the ocean, as EKA is also situated right on the beach. We would like to give a huge thank you to Andree for helping us make the most of our time in Sri Lanka. We managed to get the most out of the beautiful island, from venturing to rainforests to relaxing on beach. Jack & Emily

Jack2015-08-21T00:00:00Z

Andree went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay in her idyllic ocean-front apartment; from last-minute Christmas decorations (at my request!), to welcome gifts and a pack of beers. Andree was always available and willing to help in whatever way she could and that was the case from our initial enquiry all the way through to our departure. Apartments like this are why I'm a huge advocate of Airbnb over hotels. We had a beautiful, private villa with plenty of space for two and with direct access to the sea (and incredible sunsets), for what I believe to be fantastic value. This was accompanied by a friendly, knowledgeable, personal host. I will be recommending Andree and Podi Gedara to any friends who are considering a trip to Galle. Thanks Andree!

Guy2014-12-29T00:00:00Z

Andree is an excellent host. The appartement is clean and comfortable. And it's good, that there is a safe in the bedroom. Be warned: Yes, the appartement sits direktly at the ocean. So there is not only a stunning view, there is also a lot of noise. We don't recomment to sleep with open windows, also because natives may try to grab some of your belongings during the night. It happens with our mobile... But Andree was very nice, she invited us to an absolutely great breakfast. And if you want to now how to act and where to go in the village: ask Andree, her tipps are very helpful. All in all it was a nice start of our trip to Sri Lanka.

Steffi2016-01-18T00:00:00Z

Fantastic spot right on the beach, lovely quaint apartment to stay in and just a beautiful part of the world. Andree was an amazing host, helping us with everything we needed and fantastic recommendations for food and sights, would definitely recommend podi gedara to anyone.

Dan2015-08-11T00:00:00Z

Podi Gedara is a lovely apartment located on Talpe beach. The apartment is nice, comes with all the amenities (kitchen etc) and the best part is it's right on the beach! It's really lovely! It is with in walking distance to a cool restaurant called "Talpe Beach," where you can use their swimming pool too. Unawatuna and the Jungle beach are a short drive or tuk tuk ride. Andree is a wonderful host. She is very welcoming and will gladly recommend bars and restaurants around the area. She is easily accessible and can arrange bike tours or anything that you would like to do. My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon and we loved it! There gated parking on the property as well.

Janette2017-09-06T00:00:00Z

I booked Roman's place for my step son and his travel buddy. They loved the location, right on the beach. Roman responded to my inquiry promptly. Below is what my step son had to say about Roman's place: The crazy coconut villa is a value for money home that has the best beach front in Unawatuna. Its proximity to Galle is great for those interested in old colonial history, some good food and a spot of shopping. The rooms are spacious and the service is accommodating.

steven2017-07-07T00:00:00Z

The accomodation is near the city centre about 1km by feet to the main beach and plenty of bars und Restaurants. The room was spacious and very clean also the bathroom. The communication with the host was really kind and helpful, so roman was committed to help us with all belongings. All in all it was pretty much ok but the atmosphere was a little bit strange.

Mira2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

For 25 dollars Canadian you can't get better than this! Right on the beach, has everything you need. Not right in town but only a 20 min walk or quick tuk tuk ride there.

Kelsey2017-08-11T00:00:00Z

Really nice spot right on the beach. Roman was a great host. We also liked being a bit outside of Unawatuna, which we found too busy and touristy. We used the place as a base to travel to Weligama beach and around the area which worked really well

Renée2017-08-31T00:00:00Z

Great Location. If you are in Sri Lanka to be by the beach, this is certainly a place to consider. Roman is very helpful as a host and offers great recommendations for modes of travel/food. Had a very relaxed and comfortable stay here.

Fully furnished house surrounded by impressive nature views. Located approximately 1 Km inland in Talpe area.You can have the real natural feeling.The house is covered with grove. Shady trees give natural relax. Different species of animals and birds add additional value to the villa from their beauty and sounds (monkeys, peacocks, squirrels.....etc). You are welcome to stay with us.
All kitchen utensils will be provided.

Home is perfect for: Company up to 6 people, families, single travelers wealthy and clever "budget" travelers who know how to properly invest their finances (because it is very well acceptable among the options). Believe me, there is nothing to compare, that to before have found this option, we were now out of 8 people in another place (closer to Unawatuna). But that's another story ... I'll tell you about the pros, which necessarily should pay attention: - There are no additional surcharges (for gas, for garbage, cleaning, for the Internet, for air, for animals, etc.). Yes, that is what is important, that is, to the, unfortunately, very few people warned naive tourists in a resort area that for me these brackets convenience in Sri Lanka must pay. So be careful when booking. With Aquila such costs will not be exact !!! - Kindness and sociability host. This is important. Sometimes (but honestly, (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN)chen often) it seems that Sri Lankans looking at you as a bag of money. You can not worry. At Aquila fairly fluent English, a great desire to help and a good sense of humor. Service in Sri Lanka is not a fairytale, you can say it at all. But it is my contention is clearly not about the owner of the house. So, a few facts about the house, which will be useful to a potential visitor: - Convenience

Valerii2017-02-10T00:00:00Z

Nice, brand new house, quality furniture. Bananas grow in yard. More animals and birds on other side of fence in coconut estate as in Yala. Host very flexible. Good location. Highly recommended.

Kaspars2016-11-19T00:00:00Z

We spent the last week of our three week tour around Sri Lanka at Akila's home. The pictures don't do the home justice as it's quite spacious, clean, and private, located in the jungle 1km from the main road and beach. The main living areas are big and bright with soaring ceilings and nice furnishings, while the bedrooms are comfortable and clean. While slightly more remote than the resorts situated on the coast, Akila was always available to call tuk tuk drivers or organize whatever we needed. We dined at the family restaurant down by the beach and can honestly say it was some of the best Sri Lankan curry we had during our entire trip. Would definitely recommend the home to families looking for a quiet, affordable place close to nature and the beautiful beaches on the south coast of the island.

Jory2016-12-30T00:00:00Z

Spent the whole month of January at this house with my family. The house looks exactly like it's pictures, nice light and spacious rooms, clean, new and very well-kept. There's plenty of space around the house and it is very green, as is almost everything on the island, especially in Thalpe village. We loved the huge terrace, the big white living-room and the overall atmosphere of the house. The only thing we had to get used to in the first couple of days is the fauna at night - all kinds of sounds from the jungle, as if you are trying to sleep at the zoo) But pretty soon we got used to all the animals and birds that are living around. Everything in the kitchen worked fine, internet was good enough, Akila and the host, Hasindu, did everything to make us feel comfortable and reacted very fast to any issues we had, like recharging gas in the kitchen or getting a blender to make juice in the morning. Since the house is about 1 km away from the main road (bus station as well as railway are close to each other), the best way is to rent a scooter to get around. Found several fantastic beaches in the area, as well as food and fish markets not far. Drove around a lot, just to enjoy the villages and nature. So we had a great time at the house, loved the area and our vacation, and I certainly can recommend this place to other travellers.

Olya2017-01-31T00:00:00Z

Thanks for the comfortable overnight stay. Your home was beautiful and in a tranquil setting, despite being near the road but it was near to the sea. It would be nice to have a few basic food items, like a loaf of bread, milk and tea available for new visitors. I would also suggest a map on the wall of local amenities, shops cafes restaurants and spas and instructions on using local transport. You were very helpful in pointing out all the things but to have it written down on a wall notice would have been even better. Many thanks and we look forward to returning another day.

My place is close to Thalpe Beach, Unawatuna Beach and Galle Dutch Fort. Great views and the beach are in the neighborhood. You’ll love my place because of the people, the outdoors space, the ambiance, and the neighborhood. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets). Our apartment in Thalpe with five rooms can be consider as one of the most diverse area in Galle.

I booked the place one day before and got a confirmation and the address is wrong on the map. It guided me to grove villas. When i called him he said they were fully booked on that day amd that there is no plave to stay. I didnt even get my money back.

My place is 600 metres (5 minutes walk) from Wijaya beach which is great for swimming and snorkelling and has a couple of good restaurants. Unawatuna beach is only one kilometre away - 10 minutes walk or 5 minutes by tuktuk. You’ll love my place because of the location, the views, and the ambiance. My place is great for singles and couples. There is an extra mattress for one additional child.

We stayed in Upul's place for three weeks and everything was just great. The house is very cosy and comfortable, the same as in the pictures, with a small nice garden. The neighborhood is pleasant - jungle, rice fields, beautiful villas. It is only 10 minutes by foot to the cool Wijaya Beach - it was our favorite beach, even better than Unawatuna. Upul was very helpful and friendly, suggested us really cool places and helped to arrange local SIM cards, bike rental and other things we needed. He and his wife cleaned the house and changed towels and bedsheets every three days, watering the garden every day. We enjoyed our stay very much and totally recommend the place!

Both Anja and Roman went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We stayed in a double room with a balcony overlooking the sea. A private beach at the bottom of the garden totally unspoilt and picturesque ( although the sea was a bit rough for swimming but perfect for cooling down.) Hammocks and sun loungers overlook the beach. A perfect spot and magical as the sun went down and the garden lit up. The room was very clean and very comfortable. Quiet and peaceful with only the sound of the sea. Hot shower and toiletries supplied, bottled water in our room. They organised our Tuk Tuk driver for us which was great as we had a driver that we could rely on for trips out to supper, other beaches and Galle. Great value for money and we would love to stay longer.

Alex2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

Good value for money villa and good hosts, quiet location and we were not hassled by noise or other guests.

This was without a doubt our favourite place to stay in Sri Lanka. The photos really don't do it justice, The room is fairly private from the street with fantastic views over the beautiful beach, you can sit and watch the turtles come into feed or the stick fisherman out on their poles. The room is a simply and tastefully furnished space above the house of Dilani & her family. They cooked a few delicious local dinners & breakfasts for us which were very reasonably priced (slowly easing in the Sri Lankan spice!) and were perfect ways of starting & ending the day. we also hired a scooter from them for the day to get into Galle to the Fort & then up to the tea plantations which they were happy to tell us all about. We felt more like friends of the family than b and b guests. The beach here is wonderful if a little rough and noisy at times with the surf but its a great place for a morning dip, either outside the front or a little way around to the right where its a bit quieter, although be careful of some strong sideways currents! At one point we lost water as it needs a pump to get the water up to the room, but it was soon fixed. We couldn't have asked for more, it was a wonderful experience and we hope to return one day and will certainly be recommending to our friends.

Hosts were lovely, very helpful and knowledgeable about area and whale watching trips. Little bit noisy on the road / train during the day but not at night.

Maximilian2016-01-08T00:00:00Z

Great little place, clean and a lovely, friendly Aussie host, Cecilia, who is always happy to give advice. Wijaya beach was beautiful, more than unawatuna, and we saw a giant turtle up close just swimming around near the shore!!! Only downsides were the limited choice of restaurants/bars. There were only two main ones, and only one had a good atmosphere. The other issue was the noise...unfortunately, with a main road between you and the beach, and a train line running along the back we struggled to sleep. Worth it, but deffffffinitely take some earplugs or you might end up feeling a bit jaded.

Charlotte2017-04-20T00:00:00Z

We had a a great time staying at CJ's (Cecilia's) place. CJ and her partner were friendly and gave really helpful advice to us about traveling around Sri Lanka. The place itself if nice- huge bed, clean polished concrete floors throughout with a balcony. The lagoon beach that is across the road is truly stunning in the mornings, it was our favourite beach on the south coast. There is some noise from the traffic, but we soon got used to it and it certainly didn't overshadow our stay there. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting a good value place near the beach.

Lucy2013-02-26T00:00:00Z

The room was very clean and we had hardly any bugs in our room for the whole stay. The family are all very kind, friendly and helpful. The beach is just across the road. The sea where they are is very safe to swim as it is encolsed by rock so you are safe from the waves. I woul highly recommend this room :) Thank you for making us feel so welcome.

A brand new one bedroom apartment above a charming family home called Old Chilli House, located just 10 minutes walk from Wijaya Beach.
This is a very comfortable apartment with an air-conditioned double bedroom, en-suite bathroom with hot water.

The Apartment at Old Chilli House is a newly built annexe to a very charming old Sri Lankan family home. The Apartment is located at the back of Old Chilli House, on the upper level, with views overlooking the lush, green countryside and a totally private setting.
The apartment, is a single self contained apartment suitable for a couple, or a young family with a child. A baby's cot can be provided if required.
In the bedroom is a large King sized double bed, with very comfortable spring mattress, and mosquito net with en-suite hot water shower.
The bedroom is air-conditioned although the room can be also cooled by ceiling fan. There is a surcharge of Rs.1000per day if the air-conditioning is required. Please pay directly to me at the apartment if this is required.
A fully equipped kitchen with a gas cooker, all kitchen appliances and all cutlery, crockery and glassware is provided.

Metaramba Road is a road which runs from Unawatuna to Mihiripenna, and there are many private homestays and guest houses in this area. It is particularly popular with those wanting to be close to the beach. There are many popular bars and restaurants at the beaches, and groceries can easily be bought from the stores close by.
The closest supermarket where one can buy main provisions and snacks, soft drinks and juices etc is just 2 minutes away by tuk tuk.
Wijaya Beach, which is about 2 minutes by scooter or tuk tuk, is a lovely beach with protected read that is safe for swimming. A lot of our guests love spending time at this beach. Right at this beach is the Wijaya Beach Restaurant where one can have delicious cocktails and meals including fabulous thin crust pizzas from their pizza oven.
The popular Unawatuna Beach is just 5 minutes away by scooter or tuk tuk. There is a wide range of restaurants, cafes, bars and shops for those wanting a more lively experience. For those wanting a more interesting nightlife, there are various bars and nightclubs along Unawatuna Beach.

We adored our stay at Old Chilli House, all the little details had been thought out with the apartment-very nicely equipped and tastefully decorated. We travelled with our nine month old son and it was a great place to stay with him. Also the food was fabulous, probably the best of our trip! Would certainly recommend this stay to anyone wanting a relaxing, private getaway.

Pim2016-12-30T00:00:00Z

The Chilli house was a very tranquil place, perfect for relaxing and visiting Unawatuna Beach and Galle Fort- both short tuk tuk rides away. The location is in the hillside of Unawatuna and is a peaceful break from busy Unawatuna. Krishantha and his family are great hosts so friendly, Krishantha's wife is very helpful in calling tuk ticks and even doing our laundry for a small fee. Unfortunately we had a friend staying in Galle that we met each night so we didn't get a home cooked dinner, however we did have a Sri Lankan breakfast made for us for a small fee which was delicious! It was a great experience and I recommend it to anyone.

Erin2017-01-08T00:00:00Z

perfect area, super hosts helpful and friendly, clean and functioning services. The best choice to Unawatuna.

Francesco2017-01-23T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time at Old Chilli House. Kumara and his family were extremely accommodating and generous, ordering tuk tuks, driven by his neighbour, for us to get around. And his wife's curry was the best! The apartment is beautifully designed and spacious, surrounded in a quiet area surrounded jungle and wildlife. We recommend spending the days at Wijaya Beach, as it is closer and more secluded than Unawatuna Beach. We even saw some turtles grazing in the lagoon there. We hope to be back

Sebastien2017-01-30T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Old Chilli House was just perfect. Kuma and his wife were so nice and welcoming. They helped us a lot in making our trip perfect. They provide us with a scooter, they arrange a very nice massage with a ayurvedic Doctor, they gave us many advices on where to go, they can do laundry service, they helped us in changing our money. Kuma's wife is preparing a wonderful curry. Actually, so far, it is the best one we have eaten in the country since we arrived!! The place is very nice. Very clean. Located in a nice area (surrounded by the jungle and enough far away from the noise of Unawatuna where all the guests and restaurants are located which is not so nice to stay to us). It is close to the beaches. For further beaches, like Weligama, Mirissa the scooter is perfect. It is close as well to Galle (15 minutes by scooter). So for that we would like to thank Kuma and his wife and really recommend this place for anybody who would like to discover the south of Sri Lanka. Hope to see you again alex and Roby

Alexandre2017-01-02T00:00:00Z

We stayed 14 days at old Chili house and had a wonderful time there. Kumara and Deveka are very friendly and helpful hosts. The rooms are new and lovely decorated. The kitchen is perfect to prepare food on your own, but you should not miss the delicious food made by Deveka! The Apartment is located in quiet part of unawatuna, where only locals are living. It is a 15 min. walk to the wonderful wijaya beach, to yoga & to the bus stop to Galle. We will definitly come back to this lovely place.

Wow I can not recommend The Old Chilli House highly enough it is amazing, I have already booked in again for next year! The apartment is beautifully present colourful and clean with extremely comfortable bed, constant hot water,excellent WIFI and a lovely kitchen all finished to such a high standard. Best of all is the balcony over looking the jungle you are in the trees and you can spend hours watching the monkeys and birds a perfect spot. I was travelling on my own and felt so safe, I loved walking through the village to the beach everyday. It is a perfect spot to explore the Galle area and enjoy the local culture beaches and excellent restaurants in the area while being able to escape to a sanctuary in the trees. Kumar, Devka and the Netusaley (there daughter) are so charming a joy to spend time with, I felt like part of the family. Kumar speaks amazing English and is a wealth of knowledge about the local area make sure you pick his brains about where to go and what to do. Thank you Guys for a amazing Holiday....
